Heritage Manufacturing is releasing a line of blued steel, wood stocked 5 shot .38 +P rated revolvers called “The Roscoe”.
These are supposedly based on the Taurus 85. Tam announced that she has a review in the upcoming issue of Recoil
magazine.

Interesting. I’m not sure I like that the exposed ejector rod isn’t latched at the front, that is something I’ve never liked about a lot of classic Colts. At least they gave it a protective guard.

Agreed here, but also, front sight fixed, etc.

Nice looking for the glove box of your time machine to the past. If there's a market, I guess.

One would have looked good in the glovebox of my ‘65 Skylark.

Saw that a couple days ago, in a YT video by some influencer type that I don't usually watch. Nothing on the Heritage site then. It's there now.
Everything up the the barrel looks like pure Taurus Model 85. Unshrouded ejector rod. The lug thing at the front doesn't have a plunger that latches into the ejector rod. Taurus-s use a detent on the crane.
It would be nice if they could have used the current pinned front sight arrangement. (It doesn't look like it, anyway.) Not a deal killer.
3" For the win. It can hold a space right next to my 3" Viper.
I am very pleased to see more and more wheel gun being released.
Those are styled to look very much like the Smith & Wesson Chief's Special, IMO--I wonder what the "Street Price" will be?
It does look odd with that gap between the rod and lug.
I’ll pass.
A modern revolver with an exposed and floating ejector rod is just stupid.
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
